Abstract: | Plant regeneration through somatic embryogenesis was achieved using immature zygotic embryos (ZE) of Sorbus pohuashanensis as explants. Over 50% of immature ZEs from immature seed collected at 30 days after pollination produced direct somatic embryos
(SEs) on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0–0.44 μM 6-benzyladenine (BA) in combination with 5.73 μM naphthaleneacetic
acid (NAA) or with 0.91–2.26 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) alone. Fourteen to 23 SEs per explant were regenerated
on MS medium supplemented with BA 0.44 μM in combination with NAA 5.73 μM. SE formation decreased when sucrose concentrations
were higher than 40 g L−1. Repetitive embryogenesis occurred following culture on solid MS medium containing 12 μM abscisic acid, 75 g L−1 polyethylene glycol, and 20 g L−1 sucrose at 25 ± 1°C under a 16-h photoperiod with a light intensity of 40 μmol m−2 s−1. Over 40% of the mature SEs germinated on solid MS medium under light condition described previously. Up to 40% of the regenerated
plantlets were successfully acclimatized under greenhouse conditions. Plantlets derived from SEs grew vigorously with similar
morphology as those germinated from ZEs. Histological studies of explants at various developmental stages of somatic embryogenesis
revealed that SEs passed through globular, heart, torpedo, and mature stages. Similar to ZE suspensors, similar structures
of SE degenerated in later stages of embryo development. ZE and SE are a effective means of regenerating tissue culture plantlets
for S. pohuashanesis. |
